It doesn't as such - the tester has to trust us that far, but this is still
something that they are demanding.  It came up today because we had to do a

extract the version numbers of the checked out version of the code
automatically, with a script, this will help. :)

How does this confirm that you are or aren't using a old version of the
file?  It just tells you that a file has a certain version.
